Call me - Elli de Mon

It's been a while since I last listened to Elli de Mon, an Italian blues/rock singer-songwriter I got to know last summer as she opened a concert I've been to. I really liked her music and bought her debut album online, an album I have greatly enjoyed! I don't know why (the incipit of) this song has come back to my mind 5 minutes ago, but it did! And I forgot how I love this funky blues beat, it really takes me back to my beautiful field research adventure in US Mid-west a few years ago... great, great times!

Tomorrow is the last day of the longest consecutive amount of time I spent here in Veneto (I guess), it's been 12 days and it seems like forever... quite a few things have happened this time around (mostly outside office time), but I can't say I'm sad to get away from here for a while, rather... One week of Thailand is waiting for me after a one-day weekend, which means it's gonna be tough, and then I'll be back here, hopefully with a nicer perspective, i.e. of making my next trip to Bangkok a longer one! I've been hoping for this since March, and I'm actually getting a bit tired of staying here, so let's see how things are going to play out...!

One more song by the talented onegirlband from Veneto, I've really been taken away by her debut album, now I wish I could see her play live again! I'm sure you're gonna have a hard time keeping yor body still listening to this song, which reminds me a lot of PJ Harvey! I'll use this post also to celebrate the last day of work (tomorrow) before the "forced" two-week holidays, that are happening in the worst time of year (of course), let's hope that the weather will keep good and hot at least!! Have a good night!

Walk away - Elli de Mon

I introduced you to Elli on the blog last week, after I really enjoyed her opening act at a festival in Padua and after I bought her debut album on iTunes (the first time in I-don't-know-how-many-years) that I bought something on Apple's platform! I don't know what else to add about her, apart from again suggesting you give a try to her music (if you haven't already) to enjoy this very good mix of blues, rock, folk, punk and more!
Unfortunately I couldn't find any video with the song on YouTube, but if you click on the link below the picture hereunder, you'll be redirected to a page where you can stream it for free! It's just 2 minutes of your time, not such a big investment, is it?

Walk away - Elli de Mon

While waiting for the main act (i.e. Carmen Consoli) at the festival in Padova last week, I really enjoyed the opening act, this onegirlband from Vicenza, Elli de Mon! She plays a strange mix of blues, rock, folk and something else I can't define, but all in all she reminded me a lot of PJ Harvey and also somehow of KT Tunstall. After listening to her two records on Spotify now, I can tell she reminds me A LOT of PJ Harvey and also a little bit of Patti Smith in a couple songs of her new album. Well, it's been a very pleasant discovery! Since I didn't get the chance to buy her music at the festival, I'm about to buy her first album on iTunes methinks!
